The road after that has become much easier. In fact, there are no surprises along the way. Who dares to stop the royal formation unless it is a waste of life?

In this way, she walked to the foot of Wanfo Mountain. The mountain road was stairs one by one. The emperor and others had no choice but to get off the sedan chair. In order to prevent accidents, a eunuch in front of her pointed at Qu Yiran casually and asked her to go up to protect some of the royal relatives and nobles. Niantong felt that she was alone and went up with her.

On this trip, I saw the true faces of some nobles. The first thing that caught Niantong's attention was the young and beautiful Princess Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang was not as charming as she imagined. She was heroic, had a beautiful face, and was very easy-going. Looking further forward, there were Concubine Sun and the Queen Mother who were supporting each other. Concubine Sun was as beautiful as the rumors were as beautiful as the rumor. Even climbing the mountain to worship Buddha was worn on her head. Compared to this, the Queen Mother was more like a devout believer, wearing plain clothes, but the two of them supported each other and seemed to have a very good relationship. Going up, you can see the emperor of the dynasty. He was about 40 years old and had a handsome face.

Qu Yiran was walking one foot behind the emperor, Niantong walked between the Empress Dowager and the Concubine and Princess Gaoyang. Suddenly, the emperor seemed to have not stepped on the bricks and stones under his feet, and he was about to fall back. The maids around him suddenly let go of their hands holding the Huang Luo umbrella and wanted to help them, but seeing that the huge Huang Luo umbrella was about to be pressed towards the emperor, everyone was at a loss. Qu Yiran happened to be behind the emperor, and one hand supported the emperor, but couldn't dodge, and Huang Luo umbrella was about to be suppressed. Niantong rushed up to catch the umbrella, and Qu Yiran and the emperor also fell to the ground.

After two seconds, someone reacted and shouted and called someone to come and help the emperor. Although the emperor didn't say anything, his eyes were staring at Qu Yiran. Qu Yiran had an instinctive reaction, but he was embarrassed to be stared at by the emperor like this. He blushed and stood up, and retreated without saying a word. Niantong hurriedly pulled her over.

"You are taking the risk. If the umbrella hits people, it will take several days to hurt if it doesn't cause scars."

"I...I didn't expect that I just helped him. After all, weren't we here just to protect him?"

"You're right... just..." Niantong glanced at the surrounded emperor and sighed, "Forget it, I hope nothing happens again."

When the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine heard that the emperor almost fell, they hurriedly accelerated their pace and looked forward. Princess Gaoyang, who was standing behind, noticed that the Imperial Concubine looked at the place where Qu Yiran and the other two stood in the side, and took a casual look.

It was just a little thrilling, and nothing big happened, so everyone continued to move forward. After an hour, they finally arrived at Wanfo Temple. Everyone was so tired that they couldn't say anything. Perhaps only Tang Xi and Jisheng in the team felt very relaxed.

Inserting dogwood is the most formal activity on the Double Ninth Festival. Although it is a folk custom, the royal family also learns it. Wearing dogwood can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. "Fengtu Ji" records: On September 9th, the dogwood is folded to plug it to remove evil spirits and prevent the first cold.

The royal relatives and nobles wore dogwood, which was full of ritual. They folded the dogwood himself and picked it up in one second when burned incense money at Wanfo Temple. The dogwood would not burn, but would smoke bursts of blue smoke. When the blue smoke burned out, the virgin handed it to him.

Niantong and others did not have so many concerns or rules. Tang Xi said that as her master, the dogwood should be inserted. Niantong could not find any reason to refute it. Tang Xi smiled and inserted the broken dogwood into Niantong's hair.

Qu Yiran privately said that she envied Niantong for having such a good martial arts master. She has been in Cuizhu since she was a child, and it has been a recent event. In Cuizhu, although everyone is kind, she always feels that something is missing. Niantong and Tang Xi make her feel as close as her family.

It doesn't matter if Jisheng really is. He sometimes gives people a mysterious feeling. Niantong feels like a hermit master. He just laughs it off at some superstitious activities such as inserting dogwood. He asks Buddha and heaven, and seems to be the most reliable person to ask himself.

A palace maid came and handed a piece of dogwood to Qu Yiran, saying that it was picked by the emperor himself and rewarded Miss Qu. Only the Empress Dowager had this honor.

Niantong was a little worried, and vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen.

There were no delicacies in the temple, but the emperor's arrival did make the whole place shine. At night, a vegetarian banquet was held in the living room, and the group of people were very strange.

Although Niantong and others had different identities and had different identities with the palace maids and slaves, they were not qualified to drink with the royal relatives and nobles. However, I don’t know if they had inherited the blessing of Qu Yuanran saving the emperor, so the four of them were invited to the table.

Vegetarian food is simple and exquisite, and everyone's food is quite happy. Halfway through the meal, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Although the clear congee and side dishes have a unique flavor, it will be less fun after all. If there is orchestral companion, it is more appropriate. But I am not willing to interfere with this pure Buddhist land..." Suddenly, "I have always heard that Cuizhu's women are proficient in musical instrumental dance. I wonder if Miss Qu can dance a part to cheer the banquet?"
